Gear inspection

Recommended Posts

I always like to leave my rig unpacked at the end of a day of jumping, so that I can pack it at home and take my time to look it over good and replace worn rubber bands etc., well today I was doing just that and what did I find? My new kill line PC, with no more than 30 jumps on it was coming apart, one of the reinforcing tapes that go through the bridle to hold the body of the pilot chute to the bridle had come unstiched, well a few minutes on the sewing machine corrected the problem, but had I not found this it could have caused me a problem later, I also decided to check all of my line attachments and bar tacks on my new reline job, no problem there, but just a reminder, even if your gear is fairly new you should take the time to check it out, finding a problem on the ground is better than finding a problem in the air.
